On April 1, a number of video games celebrated April Fools' Day with special in-game events. One of the funniest April Fools' Day pranks in a video game had to be from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, with a playlist that made players think they were going to be playing on the popular Shipment map, only to be thrown in a match on the least favorite map, Piccadilly. With April Fools' Day now over, Infinity Ward has removed the Modern Warfare April Fools' Day playlists, replacing them with a pair of playlists that are sure to please fans.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players will note that the April Fools' Day playlists are gone and in their place are playlists that let players play Shipment and Rust 24/7. Shipment and Rust are two of the most popular maps in Modern Warfare, so this will no doubt be met with enthusiasm from the community. However, some fans have expressed disappointment that one of the April Fools' Day playlists, that allowed for 10v10 on Shipment, has also been given the axe.
Considering the surprisingly positive response to the 10v10 Shipment playlist, it's possible Infinity Ward will bring it back in a future update. However, that remains to be seen, and for now, Modern Warfare fans will have to settle for regular Shipment in the map's new 24/7 playlist.
Next week will likely bring with it even more playlist changes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It's possible that the Cyber Attack Pro playlist will be dropped in exchange for something new, especially since Modern Warfare Season 3 is expected to launch on Tuesday, April 7, and bring with it a number of changes to the popular first-person shooter.
If past Modern Warfare seasons are anything to go by, Modern Warfare Season 3 will likely include new game modes, maps, and more. While it remains to be seen what new game modes could be introduced with Modern Warfare Season 3, we do have any idea as to what new maps can expect. The Modern Warfare 3 map Village and the Call of Duty 4 map Backlot have both leaked, suggesting that they could very well be added to Modern Warfare with the game's planned April 7 update.
Infinity Ward will likely share more information on what Call of Duty fans can expect from Modern Warfare Season 3 as we get closer to April 7. In the meantime, fans can still enjoy Season 2 until then, and take advantage of a Double XP weekend starting Friday, April 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
